Projects
First: ChoreHub
The idea for this has been knocking around in my head for a long time.
Pretty much every language/framework has a series of tutorials and one of them is about guaranteed to be a CRUD app, which this idea takes to the next step by adding more functionality and accountability.
It is built in React-Native with a Django Rest-Framework backend, and it is going swimmingly so far.
Second: Textured Glass
The program uses NumPy and OpenCV to manipulate an image. The example image is of Rialto, one of the gorgeous sea otters at the Vancouver Aquarium.
Decide on the manipulation you want. Slice and shuffle the image horizontally or vertically, or do you want it to be sliced and flipped?
It is a simple program, but it taught me about virtual environments, importing packages/modules, and after seeing the result I was hooked.
